New Zealand Custom Mouthguards Announce Partnership with One New Zealand Warriors

The One New Zealand Warriors has signed a two-year sponsorship agreement with New Zealand Custom Mouthguards.

The deal installs the specialist provider as the club’s official mouthguard supplier, a move strategically aimed at enhancing player welfare and safety standards across the organisation’s entire football department.

New Zealand Custom Mouthguards will provide medical-grade protection for athletes across all six of the Warriors’ competitive squads, including the NRL, NRLW, and New South Wales Cup teams, as well as the Jersey Flegg (U21), SG Ball (U19), and Harold Matthews (U17) development sides.

The collaboration holds significant internal synergy, as New Zealand Custom Mouthguards was co-founded by Drury-based dentist, Dr Reuben Katene, and veteran One New Zealand Warriors winger, Dallin Watene-Zelezniak.

Alongside qualified dental technician Agil Samarasan, the team combines elite sporting experience with clinical expertise to produce custom-fitted protection designed for high-impact professional environments.

Commenting on the partnership, One New Zealand Warriors COO of commercial and marketing, Glenn Harris, said: “We’re thrilled to have New Zealand Custom Mouthguards with us and share the company’s commitment to protect athletes in what is such a critical space for player welfare in a sport like ours.”

For New Zealand Custom Mouthguards, the sponsorship serves as a platform to normalise higher safety standards within Aotearoa’s sporting landscape.

Dr Katene emphasised that a core objective of the two-year deal is to make professional-grade custom mouthguards more accessible and affordable for grassroots clubs, schools, and local communities.

This latest addition to the Warriors’ sponsorship family follows a series of successful commercial renewals and new partnerships for the 2026 campaign, as the club continues to leverage its strong digital engagement and high-performance reputation.
